Two public information sessions on Maritime Link on Monday

SYDNEY — The proposed Maritime Transmission Link will be the focus of two public information sessions hosted by Emera Newfoundland & Labrador in Cape Breton next week.

The sessions will take place Monday from 3-7 p.m. at the Bras d’Or hall on Villa Drive, and Tuesday from 3-7 p.m. at the Louisbourg Fire Hall.

The sessions will provide the public with information about the Maritime Link, the recently filed environmental assessment report, as well as general information related to upcoming activities associated with the project. Officials will then listen to feedback and answer questions.

The Maritime Link is a proposed high voltage transmission system between Granite Canal, N.L., and Woodbine, N.S., and includes a subsea cable between Cape Ray, Nfld., and the Point Aconi area in Cape Breton.

One would be wise to read Bill Blacks item in the Herald regarding the financial rip off contemplated by the "Green Machine" N.D.P. and the "Gimme machine" Emera. This whole project is a pig in a poke in order to satisfy the dream of the loony socialists, and the money hungry U.S. controlled Emera. With the market returns in the U.S. in the tank, the yanks are looking north to make up the difference and when Emera is guaranteed a return of over 9% they will make this project the most expensive ever under took my man. The looney socialists will just stand there smiling with their fingers firmly shoved out of sight while you and I are hosed with ever increasing power bills, fees, and taxes. Of that you can be sure. That is the socialists way, they do not know any other.
